Caratteristiche

Località

We will set out from the village of Vacarisses along the BV-1212 road, towards Monistrol de Montserrat; on reaching km 4, we will take a turn-off to the right that leads to the la Farinera residential area. We will take the N direction, continue along carrer Montseny to the end and here we will leave the car to continue on foot along a dirt track, closed with a chain. The track climbs alongside the Sanana stream; after about 1500 m we will find a widening of the track, just here we will have to descend to the stream bed and we will soon find the rock shelter.
